You should take the “reality” aspect of it with a grain of salt, as I suspect they got the results they were hoping for (and therefore could have encouraged it).

I would recommend watching “An Honest Liar” on Netflix about the life of Amazing Randy if you have not seen it. It involves another Stanford U Experiment and has some interesting revelations about it and general bias inherent in scientific research in general, as well as other things. It is a fascinating film.

I wrote about this in another thread. Amazing doc. DO NOT READ ABOUT IT OR THE AMAZING RANDI BEFOREHAND. If all you know is that The Amazing Randi is the magician and hoax debunker that’s all you should take with you when you start it. Don’t go to wiki. Don’t google. Just watch the movie.

Experimenter is at first about the Milgram experiments, in which subjects were tested for their willingness to electrically shock another person at the behest of an authority figure. The finding was basically that people will totally be dicks if...

I don’t think it’s based on an actual event. I think it’s lampooning true crime. What’s interesting is, the trailer doesn’t exactly broadcast this and it’s not immediately obvious that it’s actually a comedy. (At least, it wasn’t to me.)

See also Amazon’s new Comrade Detective, which I could have sworn was discussed on QT3 but I can’t find it anywhere. The premise is it’s a propagandistic Romanian cop show from the 80s, which has been remastered and dubbed into English by the likes of Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It’s astonishingly well realised, and played almost totally straight, except in so far as the propaganda elements come off as silly because, well, propaganda does.
